It is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, an old man with a long beard, who was about 90 cm tall and had the same body and head as the incarnation of the old man, appeared. There is a story that he went out to the city and fortune-telling and hit his head and said, "I am a saint who knows the lifespan of people."
